There are 2 forts by name Songiri in Maharashtra, one near Karjat in Pune district (also known as the fort of “Avalas”) and the other near Nagothane in Raigad district. This is at the base of Borghat and was built to guard it.

Songiri is a small fort, and there are 2 water tanks on the top, with remnants of ramparts. We get a beautiful glimpse of Borghat. Rajmachi, Dhak, Bhivgad and Prabalgad can be seen from the top.

Ways To Reach :

We have to reach Palasdhari station on Khopoli route. It takes 15 min to reach village Avalas. From Avalas, we have to reach Naavli village, which is the base village. It takes around 2 hours to reach the top of the fort. We have to be careful since the ascent becomes slippery as we reach towards the top.
